Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel peptides and protected peptides. These compounds can be derived from naturally occurring peptides, such as those selected from colistin, circulin A, polymyxin A, polymyxin B, polymyxin D, octapeptin B, octapeptin C, and [Ile7]polymyxin B1. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions containing the new peptides, as well as methods for preparing the novel peptides and protected peptides.

Abstract: Novel protected cyclopeptide intermediates are prepared from polymyxin B are used to synthesize new peptide antibiotics. Intermediates are readily derivatized and deprotected to provide new families of antibiotics, which have potent anti-bacterial activity against gram-negative bacteria; but also are useful and potent against gram-positive bacteria.

Abstract: The present invention provides antimicrobial sulfonamide derivatives of lipopeptide antibiotics, pharmaceutical compositions of antimicrobial sulfonamide derivatives, methods for making antimicrobial sulfonamide derivatives, methods for inhibiting microbial growth with antimicrobial sulfonamide derivatives and methods for treating or preventing microbial infections in a subject with antimicrobial sulfonamide derivatives. Antimicrobial sulfonamide derivatives are generally an amino core antibiotic that has been further modified with a lipophilic sulfonyl group.
